TitleDescription
A home for my storyFor the first time, I carried thoughts that had nowhere to land. The search for a home for my articles led me not just to yet another platform, but to the idea of my own blog - built on top of the AT Protocol.
Facets as a Formatting EngineFormatting is an important tool for emphasizing your point. We use it to highlight key parts of our work every day, including when developing services. One interesting example is Facets - a formatting approach in atproto.
Open Social Software. npmxWe’ve just celebrated reaching 3,000 stars, made a number of major releases, and the team gave a really great presentation at atmosphereconf... But it seems I still hadn’t actually answered so many questions - just teased at the end of the previous article. I think it’s time to formulate the answers and finally gather them all in one place.
The month. npmxnpmx - a fast, modern browser for the npm registry. You've definitely heard about this project, and it’s probably got you just as excited as it has me. We've had a month of exciting and invaluable experience, and we've got some crazy plans ahead. I'm Alex, a project maintainer and one of the many who have been lucky enough to witness the formation of npmx from the front lines. This is an article reflecting on the project, warm stories, wonderful people, and, of course, a look into the future. I hope I can convey this marvelous experience and give you the opportunity to feel it with me.
Next.js v15 — What’s new under the hoodHello! This is another article about next.js. And finally, about the new version! Each release is a set of new, interesting, and controversial features. This version will be no exception. However, new version is interesting not so much for its new functionality, but for the change in priorities and organization in next.js. And yes, as you may have guessed from the title, a significant part of this release is valuable for reflecting on previous mistakes.
Website Performance. Big Basic ChecklistA fast website is something very obvious and simple: the site loads quickly and does not freeze. “If you make people wait 3 seconds, you start losing users” is a rule that probably every web developer has heard. But this rule is only the tip of the iceberg, both when it comes to the reasons customers are lost and when it comes to real outcomes.
This article is a comprehensive collection of information about performance: from the history of the first analysis tools and the reasons they appeared, to modern problems and universal ways to improve a website.NameDescription
